Our Aims and Objective

Sanctuary Mental Health Ministries equips the Church to support mental health and wellbeing. We provide resources that meaningfully engage the topics of faith and mental health. Our content is developed in collaboration with theologians, psychologists, and people with lived experience of mental health challenges. These resources prepare communities of faith around the world to raise awareness, reduce stigma, support mental health, and promote mental wellbeing.

Our Values

We believe that caring for mental health and wellbeing is an important part of what it means to participate in Christ’s redemptive work. Jesus came to invite all people into relationship with God, and as his disciples we are called to love one another and help one another recognize God’s presence in every circumstance and experience, including the experience of mental health challenges. This is a call that requires not only profound compassion and hope, but also education and equipping. As our organization seeks to serve the Church and respond to this call, we are shaped by the following values.

Practicing Compassion

We seek to understand, care for, and honour others in all of our communications and relationships. This commitment reflects our recognition of the inherent value and dignity of every person made in the image of God.

Cultivating Hope

We desire to share the hope of the gospel in all that we do and with all whom we meet. This commitment reflects our belief that hope, and mental wellbeing are deeply connected.

Building Relationships

We aim to encourage and strengthen communities through sharing stories and knowledge. This commitment reflects our belief that healthy communities are vital in supporting and promoting mental health and wellbeing.

Pursuing Excellence

We strive to meet the highest standards in our research, resource development, and training services.

Demonstrating Integrity

We seek to be authentic in our words and actions, and trustworthy in our work and relationships.

Our charity’s objects.

To advance the education of the church to be a sanctuary for all people at all stages of their mental wellness journey

Delivering on our aims

We will review our aims, objectives, and activities each year. The review will examine each key activity and their impact. The review will also help us ensure our aim, objectives and activities remained focused on our stated purposes.

Having referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit we review our aim and objectives when planning our future activities.

The focus of our work

Our main objectives focused on the promotion of free resources and training to support mental health awareness in churches.

We offered online training and events to support community wellbeing in the transition period out of the pandemic. We deliver training to church leaders and those in training for the ministry to develop mental health awareness and support for personal well-being.

In addition, we also seek to work in partnership with other charities to support the wellbeing of the whole church.

How our activities deliver public benefit

The launch of the new Sanctuary Course at the beginning of May 2022 proved to be a key resource to support church awareness on mental health. A free, film- based resource, The Sanctuary Course offered an accessible introduction into the mental health conversation. In tandem, we offered in- person training and an online offer, covering an introduction to mental health for leaders, and burnout prevention and recovery.

The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes during the year:

The development and promotion of The Sanctuary Course, a refreshed 8 week introduction to mental health for the whole church- to tackle stigma and build awareness of opportunities for mutual support. Developing UK specific promotion of the course occupied the first months in 2022 and involved numerous media appearances and written articles.

Our resources and training

We continue bespoke training across multiple denominations and church networks- theological colleges, in the Baptist and Anglican training system. Our training focused on mental health awareness for ministry, burnout prevention, and sustaining wellbeing in the post- pandemic context. Notably, a partnership with St Paul’s Cathedral led to the offer a public online workshop.

Financial Review

The charity’s financial position at the end of the year ended 31[st] May 2022

During its second financial year to 31[st] May 2022 Sanctuary UK made a small surplus of £30,302, which combined with a surplus brought forward of £22,037 results in reserves carried forward into the 2022/23 financial year of £52,339.

Donations received during the financial year were primarily support form Sanctuary Canada plus smaller donations from events and supports. The charity is in a strong position to deliver its planned activities for 2022/23.

Having developed a hybrid approach to training, through online and in person events, we have found a way of delivering accessible training in the new post- pandemic landscape.

Principal Funding Sources

We began our second year with the generous support of the Benefact Trust, which will require match funding and is offered under a three-year programme. In addition, small grants and a growing pool of individual givers contributed to our running costs. Sanctuary Canada used donations to provide back-up support to ensure core costs were met.

Policies on reserves

The trustees have considered the level of reserves required to ensure the continued activities of the charity. Reserves are needed to meet the costs of ongoing activities and balancing any fluctuations in income and expenditure. Those costs are primarily the work of the staff delivery team, managing the design of educational resources, delivering events and workshops, church liaison and fundraising.

The trustees consider it is reasonable to hold reserves to meet day to day running costs for a period of three months, whilst further fundraising activity is undertaken. Reserves at 31[st] May 2022 totaled £52,339 and are considered to be sufficient when combined with incoming resources from committed donations in the early part of 2022/23 to support the continuing work for a further 6 – 12 months.

Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds

The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity’s assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfill its obligations in respect of each fund.

Plans for Future

In the coming year, we will continue to distribute and support communities to use The Sanctuary Course to further mental health awareness.

6

Sanctuary Mental Health Society Company registration number: 12594940 Charity Registration Number: 1191490

We will pilot and evaluate training for leaders on the topic of wellbeing, and in addition we will consult with leaders representing BAME communities on the resources and their usability in the context of their community and ministries.

We will seek to identify three diocese where we can actively support the roll- out of The Sanctuary Course, where we hope to prove the efficacy of the model. As we explore mental health needs across the church communities, we plan to provide proactive support with those where mental health incidence is higher.

I report on the financial statements of the charitable company on pages 11 to 19 for the year ended 31[st] May 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”). Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited for this year under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”). In carrying out my examination, I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that:

• the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under s396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The notes attached on pages 14 to 19 form an integral part of these accounts.

Sanctuary Mental Health Society Company registration number: 12594940 Charity Registration Number: 1191490

1. Accounting policies

Policies relating to the production of the accounts.

Basis of preparation and accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (FRS 102)) issued in October 2019 (Charities SORP (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.

Nature of income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income recognition

Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:

Gift Aid

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.

Grants and Donations

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).

Donated goods, facilities and services

Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA.

Volunteers

In accordance with the SORP, and in recognition of the difficulties in placing a monetary value on the contribution from volunteers, the contribution of volunteers is not included within the income of the charity. However, the trustees value the significant contribution made to the activities of the charity by

14

Sanctuary Mental Health Society Company registration number: 12594940 Charity Registration Number: 1191490

unpaid volunteers and this is described more fully in the Trustees Report.

Liability recognition

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Governance and support costs

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Tangible Fixed Assets

Fixed Assets are recorded at cost of purchase less accumulated depreciation. The charity generally capitalises assets which meet or exceed a de minimis value of £1,000 and are likely to have a useful economic life of more than one year.

Depreciation

Depreciation of fixed assets is charged by annual amounts commencing in the year of acquisition at rates estimated to write off their cost, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives. All assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis. A full year’s depreciation is charged in the year of acquisition, and none in the year of disposal. Depreciation may be accelerated where it is known of in advance that an asset will be disposed of.

Computer Equipment 4 years

Taxation

As a registered charity, the organisation is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applied towards the charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.

2. Winding up or dissolution of the charity

If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.

3. Income

Income for the comparative year to 31[st] May 2021 comprises unrestricted funds.

4. Going concern

The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e., whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. The charity is a going concern and there are no material uncertainties relating to its going concern status.
